Question

The sides of a rhombus with angle of 60° are 6 inches. Find the area of the rhombus.

9√3 in2 1
8√3 in2
36 in2

Answer 1

18 sqrt(3) in^2

Explanation:

If we know the length of a side and the angle

area = s^2 sin a

Since the side length is 6 and the angle a is 60

= 6^2 sin 60

= 36 sin 60

= 36 * sqrt(3)/2

= 18 sqrt(3)
